Sandals and Bicycles for Poor Children
With just $2500, the children of Phi Loc received new sandals and bicycles to walk and ride to school. As our friend Theresa Le had witnessed:
The children ran off, some with their new sandals, sweet treats in hands, some rode off on their new bicycles. The church yard was filled with giggles and children’s laughter. Oh the joy of owning a brand new pair of sandals and bicycle!

Thanks so much, Donny, for your help with this. For $60, one of these kids can have shoes and a bike, to get to and from school, etc.
More often than not, when I donate to a charity, I don’t really know if all my money would ever get to the recipients. This is one case when I do know a. who the recipients are, and b. he/she gets all my donations.
Wow! I’m so touched you’re so quick at posting this article! Thank you Donny!!
